Product Description
As with all Clive Cusslers dazzling Dirk Pitt novels, critics said Treasure of Khan amazes, informs and entertains (Publishers Weekly), the action zipping along until a final powerhouse showdown (Entertainment Weekly). Whats not to like? proclaimed the Los Angeles Timesand hundreds of thousands of readers agreed.
In his new novel, howeverthe twentieth Dirk Pitt adventure Cussler may have topped even himself.
A potential breakthrough discovery to reverse global warming . . . a series of unexplained sudden deaths in British Columbia . . . a rash of international incidents between the United States and one of its closest allies that threatens to erupt into an actual shooting war . . . NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his children, Dirk. Jr. and Summer, have reason to believe theres a connection here somewhere, but they also know they have very little time to find it before events escalate out of control. Their only real clue might just be a mysterious silvery mineral traced to a long-ago expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. But no one survived from that doomed mission, captain and crew perished to a manand if Pitt and his colleague Al Giordino arent careful, the very same fate may await them.
Filled with the breathtaking suspense and audacious imagination that have become his hallmarks, this is a tour de force further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.

I love all of the Clive Cussler Novels, They are interesting and entertaining. While some say the plot remains the same I still like to read each one as he comes up with new ways to have his characters win with suspense. Like any of the good writers he places his characters in suspenseful situations and gets them out of trouble with unique endings.
VERY LONG, BUT WORTH THE READ January 2, 2009

VERY GOOD LOOOOOOOONG BOOK. LOTS OF EVIL AND EXCITEMENT. BETTER THAN #19 - THE TREASURE OF KAHN.
